09/12/2016 - Preferred partner organisations for Barnet's Partnership Libraries ref: 6487 Recommendations Approved
Decision Maker: Commissioning Director, Children and Young People
Decision published: 11/01/2017
Effective from: 09/12/2016
Decision:
On the 4th April 2016, the Council approved Barnet’s Future Library Strategy and within this strategy, four libraries (East Barnet, South Friern, Mill Hill and Childs Hill) will become community run Partnership Libraries from the 1st April 2017. These libraries will continue to form part of the Barnet library network and agreements with partner organisations will last for 10 years. The successful partners will receive an annual enabling grant to support the operation of the service, alongside volunteers which they will recruit from the local community. The council has now concluded the process to identify partner organisations and has identified partner organisations for each of the four Partnership Libraries. A period of transition will now commence during which the preferred partner organisations will be supported to refine and develop their business plans and prepare to operate the library.

13/04/2016 - Authorisation to procure Open+ technology system from Bibliotheca for installation and implementation at the Colindale Library ref: 6227 Recommendations Approved
This report is to seek permission to procure third-party specialist equipment from Bibliotheca to allow the new Colindale Library (the replacement for the existing Grahame Park Library) to be technology enabled. This would use the same system as that adopted for the pilot at Edgware Library, which started at the end of July 2015.
